Editing Infinity/N3 Tactics/Ikari Company (section)

==Faction Features==
*'''Warbands Galore:''' Desperados, Kendrat, Yuan-Yuans, and Yojimbo. Not a single one of these is a bad choice - you'll likely start lists with max AVA Yuan Yuans, and your other warbands are no slouches either.
*'''Soldiers of Fortune:''' As well as the amazing Yuan-Yuans, you get access to Brawlers, Bounty Hunters and even Yu Jing combat rems!
*'''Heavy Infantry:''' Good selection of toolbox HI backed up by very effective (and cheap!) warband and light infantry. Tanko and Wu Ming are notably cheaper than many other factions' HI options; the Daiyokai and Karakuri are valuable and durable shock troops; and the Al Fasid provides a niche defensive HI toolbox.

===Special Skills & Equipment===
*'''Fireteams:''' Ikari has decent access to mixed core links, usually mixing light infantry for filler with heavy infantry (see: Brawler+Tanko haris, Tanko+Brawler+Keisotsu core). They also get a Wu Ming core/haris option involving the Clipper 'bot. Unfortunately, almost all of their useful links are very specific in forming them. Wu Ming need a clipper bot to form a Core, Brawlers and Tanko don't have a core link, and Keisotsu cores are just terrible. If a fireteam breaks, expect great difficulty in reforming it.
*'''Yuan-Yuans:''' 8pt warband combat-jumping infantry with smoke grenades and chain rifles. They are one of the largest reasons to play Ikari Company, and they will only rarely fail to make up their points. You get four of them. 
*'''Lieutenants:''' The worst (and narrowest) selection in the game: Brawler or Kiesotsu. Both are WIP12. You take the Keisotsu for fewer points, or the Brawler to avoid the dreaded SWC tax on the Lt. Keisotsu.
*'''Atrocious Specialists:''' Again, perhaps the most limited and weakest options in the game. Ikari Company exists to punch throats, not press buttons.
*'''Fragile and Specific Links:''' Did we mention that once your link teams get shot apart, they're almost impossible to reform? Many of the choice fireteams require specific combinations of troops to form at all (4 Wu Ming+Clipper, 3 Keisotsu+Brawler+Tanko). If you don't have the exact composition of troops required, you're out of luck.
